  I actually did almost buy TP the other day after an unpleasant encounter with the new post-sequester personal hygiene equipment. But I forgot as soon as I sat down at my desk and apparently the bad TP was an accident and not actually due to the budget crunch. But yeah, the memo is spot-on in many respects (15.62 exact == smartass) but unrealistic in others. For example I haven't seem this many words correctly spelled in a memo since I was on submarine duty, and no one here would be able to figure out how to word logic as twisted as that described. Instead they would probably omit major details that need deciding while repeating minor details, slightly differently each time so that you can't be sure whether it's a unique requirement or not...
